CHICO - If one good quarterback is a luxury to have on the football field, then two at the same time surely must be better, right?

In most cases, obviously, the answer is no.

Chico High has a different scenario.

Backup-turned-star starter Daniel Robbins threw for 275 yards and six touchdowns, and Trevon Reid, the Northern Section single-season record-holder in yardage as a quarterback, got to show off his skills as an H-back, leading a potent Panther attack in a 48-25 victory over Red Bluff on Friday night at Asgard Yard.

Eli Penick caught five passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns and also had a touchdown run for Chico (4-2, 1-1 Eastern Athletic League), which scored 34 first-half points to make it a blowout early.

Jesse Holmes had a game-high six catches for 59 yards and two touchdowns, including a 25- yard strike from Robbins at the 7:16 mark of the second quarter and a bullet on a short slant from 12 yards out right before halftime.

Burak Karatekeli led all players with 116 receiving yards on five catches.

Reid, meanwhile, nursing a sore throwing shoulder and already having suffered a leg injury earlier in the season, got involved in a way that defenses couldn't simply go after him - he lined up in the slot, off the line, out wide and, yes, at quarterback.

The results: Five catches for 42 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown pass from Robbins, the player who stepped in for Reid when he went down injured against Center in the beginning of the season.

The Panthers did suffer a scare late, when Robbins was hit hard as he threw the ball away on a broken protection with 30 seconds to play (Reid had already changed out of his uniform and Chico has no official third quarterback).

He limped off the field on his own, but seemed to be favoring an ankle or knee.

That truly was the only sour moment, though, for the hosts on Friday, and Robbins in particular.

The senior has helped Chico thrive in the passing game, at a time that its running game is nearly nonexistent.

Indeed, even against the struggling Spartans (3-3, 0-3), who lost their third straight, Chico earned just 33 yards rushing on 22 attempts, a 1.5 yards-percarry average that's a far cry from the balanced attack the Panthers rode through the playoffs a season ago.

But if Robbins and Reid can truly coexist in the passing game as they did on Friday, it may not matter.

Robbins was in fine form, again showing masterful accuracy on short and intermediate routes as he completed 22 of his 33 attempts.

He capped off his huge evening with a floating touch pass to Ryan Barnett, a 14-yarder that made it 48-16 in the third quarter.

Because of the game's late 8 p.m. start and a post-game event involving the football team itself, players and coaches were not available for comment.
